SWEET CORN CASSEROLE

Cheesy corn casserole is a staple side dish for the holidays, here in the Midwest. This recipe is one of the easiest side dish casserole recipes made with my Homemade Cornbread Mix, which requires only 4 ingredients. No need for store-bought mix! This corn casserole can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge. Top with cheese right after baking for a gooey melty topping!

Corn Casserole Ingredients (your shopping list):

• whole kernel corn (1 can)
• creamed corn (1 can)
• sour cream
• butter
• eggs
• cheddar cheese
• flour
• cornmeal
• baking powder
• salt
• sugar

How to make Sweet Corn Casserole?

If you are making your own cornbread mix, whisk the ingredients together and set aside so it’s ready to go. Combine all remaining ingredients in a bowl, then bake in a casserole dish. This is really that easy!

Step 1: mix corn

Place corn in mixing bowl and stir with sour cream.

Step 2: butter and cornbread mix

Add melted butter and cornbread mix and stir in well.

Step 3: bake

Pour the batter into a baking dish and bake. Once done, top with cheese and cover for a few minutes to let it melt. You can also sprinkle the cheese before baking but it will set and won’t be as gooey and melty.

Can I use frozen corn to make this dish?

You can certainly use frozen corn to make this dish, but you will have to thaw it out first. Otherwise, the corn will release too much moisture during baking and the dish won’t bake properly.

Can I use fresh corn off the cob to make this dish?

Yes! Fresh corn in place of canned whole kernel corn is fantastic here! It will have more bit to it and more flavor.

Can I make this dish ahead of time?

You can easily make this dish up to 2 days ahead of time. I suggest topping it with cheese after reheating.

How to freeze corn casserole?

You can bake this corn casserole, cool completely and freeze in a freezer-safe container or a bag. It will keep just fine for up to 4 months. To reheat, thaw it out in the fridge, then let it sit in room temperature while the oven is preheating. Bake, then top with cheese.

How to store corn casserole?

If you are making this corn casserole ahead of time or have any leftovers, place them in a covered container or cover the baking dish and store it in a fridge.
